Review the considerations for each Salesforce Connect adapter that you use to know
more about Salesforce Platform feature support.
Salesforce Connect Support for Reports Depending on network latency and the availability of the external system, reports that include an external object can take a long time to run.
Salesforce Connect Support for Record Feeds View the Chatter feed associated with external object records you follow to see updates about the record. Following records helps keep you up to date on important changes to the external objects.
Salesforce Connect Support for Quick Actions External objects support quick actions, except when the actions involve features or functionality that are incompatible with external objects.
Salesforce Connect Support for the Salesforce Console You can access external objects from the Salesforce console only in Salesforce Classic. Other consoles, such as the Salesforce console in Lightning Experience, aren’t supported.
More Features Supported by Salesforce Connect External objects are available to Salesforce APIs, SOQL queries, SOSL and Salesforce searches, packages, Metadata API, change sets, and Lightning Experience app.
